The Vice Chancellor for Transformative Partnerships and Economic Development (VCPED) is a senior executive responsible for advancing the university’s broader strategy of economic growth, innovation, and community engagement. Reporting directly to the Chancellor, the VCPED will lead and build partnerships with industry, government, and community organizations to catalyze regional, state, and national economic development, with a specific focus on growing the university’s research, commercialization, and workforce development efforts.

In addition to overseeing strategic partnerships, the VCPED will manage and provide executive-level leadership to three key university initiatives: the Biomanufacturing Research Institute & Technology Enterprise (BRITE), the Biological and Biomedical Research Institute (BBRI), and the Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Research (IAIER). While these centers play critical roles in the university’s economic development goals, the VCPED’s primary mission is to grow and expand partnerships across a wide range of sectors beyond these three entities, fostering a broader network of collaboration that enhances the university’s overall impact.
